Each of those add ons would probably cost around £10 on their own so it is a much better deal now than when the SC started.
Oh yeah, I will get a guaranteed shield for that with guaranteed gear to max her. Unlike what some are saying she wont be outdated in a few months time.

You sign a contract to buy a car and agree monthly payments of £200. For that price you get the car, a tank full of petrol and a free roadside assistance.

A month after you signed the contract the car dealer contacts you to say that they will send you some floor mats this week for free, give an air freshener next week, week 3 they will service your air con and so on. None of these are things that would have been mentioned in the original contract and dont require additional payments from you.

lol Alpha is semi - free, i never got her and many of my teammates havent got her either and we’re not some dead or mid-ranked faction. Ty is free and everyones got him and people still lose against shield teams when using him. Keep using your alpha and I’ll keep using my Andrea.

If you think she’s outdated then that’s your opinion but I cant remember a time in this game when a shield ever got properly outdated - even Lee was still used by those who were not lucky enough to pull other shields.

My Andrea is only t2 at the moment and I used her this last AOW on a def team with Jesus, Glenn, Carl and green Shiva. Only had to repair twice and we were in top 10 and matched against top factions most of the time.

Not sure how else to explain it to you.

Well you’re gonna need to use another metaphor, nobody here has agreed to buy their account, this is more like renting a car for a month & the supplier saying IF you rent the car next month too will give you a tank of petrol but if you don’t agree to rent again you won’t get the free gifts.

In scopelys case it would be B.O.G.O. Buy one and have a 0.01% chance to get another free, the other 99.9% chance you may ask? Well if you get that you still pay for everything but the B.O.G.O is reveresed and you lose all items purchased and even have to return them to the shelf yourself
